Florida State University’s Department of Art BFA ’09 Rachel Rossin has been named one of the Forbes 30 Under 30 2017 for Arts and Style.

About Rachel Rossin

Since graduating from Florida State University, Rossin has shown in solo exhibitions in New York as well as in museums in Basel, Riga, Istanbul, and Helsinki. Both a painter and a virtual reality artist, she explores what is “lost in translation” between physical and virtual spaces. In one project, she scanned paintings and photos taken in her studio and apartment to make short videos meant to be experienced with the aid of a virtual reality headset. She is also a fellow at New Inc., the first museum-led cultural incubator, which was founded by the New Museum in New York.
